Flooding and Drought Threaten Vulnerable Communities Worldwide
WHY IT MATTERS
The identified hazards pose a significant threat to vulnerable communities, emphasizing the need for early warning systems and preparedness measures to mitigate the impact of these disasters.
What happened
The Start Fund's monthly Risk Bulletin has identified several high-priority hazards affecting countries around the world. Flooding is expected in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia, while droughts are anticipated in Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea.
The Start Network's Anticipation and Risk Financing team compiles the bulletin using online sources, focusing on new, emerging, or deteriorating situations. Risks that are unchanged or beyond the Start Fund's scope are not included.
The bulletin aims to raise awareness and facilitate anticipation alerts from Start Network members.
